Driving Licences: Health
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if the DVLA will publish a comprehensive list of reportable medical conditions.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) publishes a comprehensive list of notifiable medical conditions on GOV.UK. The ‘Assessing Fitness to Drive’ guidance is intended for healthcare professionals and is available at www.gov.uk/government/publications/assessing-fitness-to-drive-a-guide-for-medical-professionals, while guidance for driving licence holders can be found at www.gov.uk/health-conditions-and-driving.
If a licence holder is unsure whether they need to notify the DVLA of their medical condition, or if it may impact safe driving, they should discuss it with their healthcare professional.
